commercial fishing notes
notes for the california current commercial fishing data
combined the global FAO data with the DFG data for the california current project
notes:
original global data in millions of tons per year per 1/2 degree
DFG data in pounds per year per 10'x10' block
conversions are as follows:
lbs to MT: 0.00045359237
10'x10' block: 18.5kmx18.5km
10'block: 342.25km2
(original block number * 0.00045359237 ) / 342.25
lb to short tons: 0.0005
1/2 degree blocks of millions of tons = 55kmx55km = 3025km2
((cc * 0.0005) / 1000000) / 342.25
(G / 3025)
